AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Two small technical fixes to Utah election law make up this bill: it changes when the lieutenant governor must create the randomized ballot ordering list (which determines the order candidates appear on ballots) from within 30 days after the candidate filing deadline to a window between 14 and 30 days before the fourth Wednesday in April in even-numbered years, and it aligns the 2026 signature submission deadline for U.S. House candidates with the standard deadline that applies to all other candidates running through the signature-gathering route. People running for Utah's U.S. House seats in 2026 are most directly affected, as they now have more time to collect and submit the required 7,000 voter signatures to qualify for the primary ballot.
